Last December 22, 2011, my Project Life kit arrived from Singapore, courtesy of Scraplicious. I was ecstatic, although I had to pay an arm and a leg for it (I'll explain more on these later), it was totally worth it.
I got the Clementine Kit.
It was a difficult decision to make at first. I wanted the Amber Edition since I first saw it months ago on Becky Higgins Blog. But, I have boys so I thought about the Turquoise Edition instead. When the Clementine and Cobalt Editions became available, the process became more difficult. I wanted both editions too. But, I had to be realistic and just choose one collection or risk spending our Milk Budget.
I love the color blue, but decided that the Cobalt Edition was too dark. So, I had to decide between Amber, Clementine and Turquoise. The kits were available at the Singapore store already and I still haven't decided. The special promo offer was almost ending and I was still flip-flopping over the colors that I wanted. But, time was of the essence. I have to decide or 2012 will come without my Project Life.
So, I thought, what will my Project Life 2012 be about? It's my first Project Life and I wanted it to be as fun as I wanted. Upon further thinking I realized that as much as I wanted it to be about my family, I wanted it to be about ME too.
I wanted my colors to be sunny and bright. I want 2012 to be a positive year, one that is full of hope and great perspective. A year that will be inspiring as I embark on becoming a better person and a better year, quality-wise, than last year. Yes, I absolutely love the color BLUE, but I want a palette that had more reds, oranges and yellows. So, now it became a toss-up between Amber and Clementine.
When I was about to order... Amber sold out.
So, the Fates chose for me. Clementine won.
PS: Clementine has some nice blues on its palette too that would go with my boys' (a 9-month old and a toddler) pictures... so I did not feel bad at all. :-)
